Mathematicians Writing for Teachers Conference, Mt. Holyoke College in early summer 2008.

数学家为教师写作会议的目标是计划和实施一个会议，在这个会议上，课堂教师，数学教育工作者，数学家和社区大学教师合作，考虑有关K-8教师数学教育的内容和教学法的关键问题。 这些讨论将通过共同教学实际的专业发展会议，通过观察彼此的教学，并通过基于观察和录像带的教学会议汇报接地。 与会者将为K-8教师的专业发展制定一套新兴的原则和方法，将重要的数学内容和思想与课堂教学和学习联系起来。

The goal of the Mathematicians Writing for Teachers Conference is to plan and implement a conference at which classroom teachers, mathematics educators, mathematicians, and community college faculty work collaboratively to consider critical questions about content and pedagogy in the mathematics education of K-8 teachers. These discussions will be grounded by co-teaching actual professional development sessions, through observing each other teaching, and through debriefing teaching sessions based on observations and videotape. The participants will produce an emerging set of principles and approaches to professional development for K-8 teachers that connect important mathematics content and ideas to classroom teaching and learning.
